The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,661 posts)3. This kitty was adopted by a Russian couple
when it turned out he had some health problems making it impossible for a zoo or other facility to keep him, and he couldn't be released into the wild. So he lives with them in their house like any other cat.

I'm surprised his behavior is so similar to a house cat. They trained him I guarded, but it looks very natural. And the purring!

I was a bit disturbed to see a naturally wild animal be treated as a house pet. To me it was very unnatural and a bit unsettling. But given the circumstances I appreciate that the couple took him in.
